Hamilton, the son of Alexander Hamilton,〔Hendrickson, Robert A. ( ''The Rise and Fall of Alexander Hamilton'', ). Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1981, p. 188.

He later renamed the settlement Wiota.〔Reed, Parker McCobb. (''The Bench and Bar of Wisconsin'' ). Reed, 1882, pp. 427–28. Retrieved September 25, 2007.〕 Hamilton, along with Elias Shook and William Haws, settled the area in 1828 and quickly struck quality deposits of lead ore.〔 During the 1832 Black Hawk War, a fort was erected at Hamilton's Diggings, which was known as Fort Hamilton.〔Butterfield, Consul Willshire. (''History of Lafayette County, Wisconsin'' ). Western Historical Co., 1881, p. 476. Retrieved September 25, 2007.〕 Wiota was first platted in 1836 by Hamilton, and though a few buildings were built, the settlement was eventually moved from the Hamilton's Diggings site to its present site, which was platted on July 1, 1858.〔"(Wiota: Town and Village )," Wisconsin Historical Society, Date and publication unknown.
